Learning Path: Delphi: Cross-Platform Apps with Delphi

Learning Path: Delphi: Cross-Platform Apps with Delphi

Delphi is one of the most popular IDE for cross-platform native app development. It helps you to focus on the real business and avoid the pain of going through amid GUI widget details or inter-platform incompatibilities. So, if you want to build native cross-platform apps with a single codebase for iOS and Android, then you should surely go for this Learning Path.

Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. 

The highlights of this Learning Path are:

• Get to grips with Delphi to create applications for mobile, desktop, the cloud, and the Internet of Things
• Implement the most popular design pattern without wasting too much time on debugging and bug fixing

You will begin this learning journey by getting accustomed to the Delphi IDE and the Object Pascal language. You will then familiarize yourself with JSON format strings, XSLT transformations, Unicode encodings, and various types of streams. The Learning Path then moves on to more advanced topics such as developing higher-order functions and using enumerators and RTTI. You will then go through topics such as multithreading, using the parallel programming library, and putting Delphi on a server. Finally, you will take a look at the new feature of WebBroker Apache modules and then ride the mobile revolution with FireMonkey..

By the end of this Learning Path, you will be able to design and develop applications, deploy them on the cloud platform, and distribute them within an organization via Google Play and other similar platforms.

Meet Your Expert:

We have the best works of the following esteemed authors to ensure that your learning journey is smooth:

• Paweł Głowacki is Embarcadero's European technical lead for developer tools. Previously, he spent over 7 seven years working as a senior consultant and trainer for Delphi within Borland Education Services and CodeGear. In addition to working with Embarcadero customers across the region, he represents Embarcadero internationally as a conference and seminar speaker. 

• Daniele Teti is a software architect, trainer, and consultant with over 20 years of professional experience. He writes code in a number of languages but his preferred language for compiled native software is Object Pascal. Daniele is an Embarcadero MVP and is a well-known Delphi and programming expert in the developers' community. He's the main developer and drives the development of some Delphi open source projects (DelphiMVCFramework, LoggerPro, DORM—"The Delphi ORM", Delphi Redis Client, Delphi STOMP Client, and more). After writing some articles for the most important programming magazines in Italy and a number of online publications, Daniele started to write books. His Delphi Cookbook, published in late 2014, has been a bestseller. Daniele wrote his first program when he was 11 years old, and since then happily continues to write software almost every day. Apart from Delphi, he's a huge fan of design patterns, open source, distributed architectures, RESTful architectures, and Android OS.
